HLG test stream problem

[cooknl]

The HLG teststream, causes a flash of the screen content then BLACK screen and locked up STB HD51.

The HLG test stream can be tried on Astra 19.2 E 10714mghz Horizontal.

BTW when using my LG oled E6V built in tuner the test channel HLG works just fine.

Is there a known problem that will be solved in a later update ????

THX

Last time I tried this it worked fine, but I assume this is because I normally use bootmode 12 (the Hd51 has 2 chip options to change how it operates) and use code from OpenATV to set the boxmode in the boot/startup file and in standard vix there is no way of doing this apart from ftp and an editor to change the boot option.
I will have to check tomorrow to confirm this is accurate

The octagon sf4008 now defines these chip options in the driver and it can be set as a menu option.

Looking forward to youre reply tomorrow TWOL.

Can you then also explain how to set it in like DCC ftp please??

Thx

Tested normal setup and it picks up hlg without issue ...do you get sound on HLG ?

There has been some code fiddling in this area .... so need to have another look later but it should work ...

anyway let me know if you get sound but no picture ... also check refresh rate = auto

Ok I do get Sound with Black screen so NO video.

Also checked the \mainmenu\setup\system\AV settings and ther refresh rate lets me choose from

A) Multi
B) 60HZ
C) 50HZ

It was set to MULTI but that does not give me video just audio and a lockedup box which wont do anything anymore, have to remove power to reset.
Just tried 50 Hz refresh rate and it to came up with sound and NO VIDEO and locked up the box.
Just tried 60Hz it to only sound no video, but when box restarted refresh rate was set back to MULTI.

So in essence none of the three modes worked correctly.

Thx for youre testing,

So what version of ViX are you on?
If its older than Jan 22nd or not 028 or above then suggest you reflash clean from USB and then restore settings (probably worth doing that regardless)
There were changes about this time with the HD51 drivers and a change in bootmode options which might impact you.

I am on vix 4.2.030 (Release).
Drivers 2017-01-19
I have put a new bootloader in version v1.07-r19. although I did that before I installed vix, and it shows on information page.

OK.
Using something like putty, telnet into the box, login using the box IP address and root and then init 4 to stop the box.
Ftp into the box using something like Filezilla.
In the directory tree 2nd down is the boot directory which should contain 5 folders STARTUP, STARTUP_! thru STARTUP_4
Transfer STARTUP to your PC

Using Notepad (Windows) or gedit (linux) have a look
It should contain either: boot emmcflash0.kernel2 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p5 rw rootwait hd51_4.boxmode=1' or boot emmcflash0.kernel2 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p5 rw rootwait hd51_4.boxmode=12'
If it is 12 change it just to 1 and save.
Copy it back and reboot the HD51 using init 6 in the telnet app.

Hopefully that will work

Please let me know the result or which boxmode you have

I dont have the capability to do this, but will have to ask a friend to assist via TEAMVIEWER or something like that.
Will let you know here when its done and the results. Thanx for taken the time to help me.

Lacking any helpful information!
So tell me which version of ViX you are running and what boxmode ....I need this info

I also have it working but it seems to depend on the boxmode, so please provide this info ... see my posts above

[cooknl]

in my opinion the above picture has nothing to do with the hlg demo channel on astra

actually thinking about this there is an easier way
Go to ViX imagemanager and make sure its using the hdd for backup images (press Menu button to check)
Make a backup of your image.
Unzip the HD51 folder from the HDD to a usb stick.
Reflash from the USB stick
Let me know the result

YOU mean do nothing to the backedup image and reflash from it?? But then nothing is changed in the image is there??
Have to reformat HDD what is tyhe best format to choose????
Plugin ntfs-3g can that be used instead of reformat??

[twol]

Actually any powered HDD or even usb stick should do.... but usb stick is really slow and I have had hangs so try to use something else if possible ... obviously then unzip the image backup and move the HD51 folder to a usb stick and flash.
The Image Backup code was written in a way that EMMC disk image created for the HD51 will hopefully correct the boxmode - IF this is your issue (I can certainly recreate your issue no video, only audio by changing boxmodes)
So you are basically backing up the image and restoring it exactly as before ... but maybe with a different boxmode

I hope this works ... if so I can then go away and have a discussion with someone
